Family First Lyrics[Verse 1]
Say your prayers 'fore you go to bed
Boy, that's what mama told me (Told me)
How to pop a line, drive a nail, read a tape
Yeah, that's what daddy showed me
Fightin' with my big bros it made me tough
So forgive me if I seem a little rough around the edges
I'm just dippin' my brush in these lessons I learned
Paintin' pictures in these studio sessions
Everything I am I owe it all to ya
Even when I wasn't known at all you stuck through it
Life is a classroom and I've been the student
And nobody said you had to do it
You're still doin' it (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Chorus]
I could be anywhеre in the world and you could call on me (Call on mе)
I'll drop everything just tell me where I need to be
For better or worse, gotta make it work
Even when it hurts I'll put my family first, I'll put my family first
Gonna climb in the dirt, move Heaven and earth
Even when it hurts you put your family first
[Verse 2]
(Hey, hey)
Say your prayers 'fore you go to bed
Girls, that's what we tell the kids (Tell the kids)
They do what you do not always what you say
So be careful how you live
When it's time to play ball pay attention
If they pitch it down the middle, baby, swing for the fences
'Til I'm dead and gone I'm your number one fan
I'm just tryna add a little bit of color to your pictures
Everything I am I'd give it all to ya
Even when we seem to know it all I stick to it
Life is classroom and now you're the student
And I'm so glad I get to walk you through it
(Ha, ha)
[Chorus]
I could be anywhere in the world and you could call on me (Call on me)
I'll drop everything just tell me where I need to be
For better or worse, gotta make it work
Even when it hurts I'll put my family first, I'll put my family first
Gonna climb in the dirt, move Heaven and earth
Even when it hurts you put your family first

(Holy presence is all in the room)
Gonna climb in the dirt, move Heaven and earth
Even when it hurts
Say your prayers 'fore you go to bed
Boy, that's what mama told me (Mama, mama, mama)
Gonna climb in the dirt, move Heaven and earth
Even when it hurts
[Chorus]
I could be anywhere in the world and you could call on me (Call on me)
I'll drop everything just tell me where I need to be
For better or worse, gotta make it work
Even when it hurts I'll put my family first, I'll put my family first
Gonna climb in the dirt, move Heaven and earth
Even when it hurts you put your family first
[Outro]
(Holy presence is all in the room)
Gonna climb in the dirt, move Heaven and earth
Mom, thank you so much
Even when it hurts
(The Holy presence is all in the room)
Gonna climb in the dirt, move Heaven and earth
Even when it hurts
